NHS Providers said the unprecedented industrial action is likely to cause the worst patient disruption hospitals have ever seen
further delays to routine care would inevitably push many patients into needing emergency treatment, as they would not be able to cope with their symptoms the longer they are forced to wait for treatment.
Saffron Cordery, deputy chief executive of NHS Providers, which represents trusts, said the industrial action is likely to cause the worst patient disruption hospitals have ever seen. One trust leader said they have had to reschedule care for more seriously ill patients who previously may have been protected from strike disruption. Another said their trust is rescheduling appointments for some patients whose care has already had to be moved because of strike action.
